Spending some time with the mixed martial arts powerhouse’s official tie-in, BT Games finds a brutal-yet-beautiful take on one of the world’s most exciting sports.
EA Sports UFC 4 is back, but is it better than ever?
From PSU: "Without a doubt the best MMA videogame ever made, EA Sports UFC 4 supplements a welcome array of new offline and online modes with a revamped and endlessly sophisticated combat system that everybody can enjoy. For MMA fans it doesn't get any better than this."
Replies(2)Strange as a lot of YouTube beta players hated it. They've had years and just copied and pasted ufc 3 ith a few new haircuts
Same... although they long ago fired all the developers that made FN great. So it would likely be terrible if it came back.
Well, for context EA did put in real boxers Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua in the game, and Isaac Frost and Andre Bishop from fight night champion in the last game. No getting around it, they have been c@ck teasing boxing fans for years with this sh!t pre-order dlc
these UFC games are trash, they play terrible. UFC is not really a good choice for a game because of the limited inputs controllers have. But EA got the license on the cheap, so they've been shoveling this crap at us for years while we wait patiently for a fight night that will probably never happen until Mayweather is dead or runs out of money.
my wishes:
fight night primarily focused on online, like gt sport.
ONLY stick controls. No button mashing. if you try to mash buttons, your characters head explodes and he's permanently deleted from the game.
Same here, I love boxing more than MMA but I also want a good MMA game as well.
I agree with this review, I tried it only because it's free on EA Access and figured I'd hate it like I did the other games but lo and behold I loved it and plan to buy it now. The game is so much more fun now that they've made it so much less complicated and inaccessible to non-hardcore fighter fans.
A beautiful reminder of how much I miss Fight Night, check out my review on Watch-Loki!
"Blocks and counters are a simple up/down, left/right system to move against your opponent, while submissions are a cat-and-mouse on-screen exercise in judicious use of the right and left sticks (right for the defender, left for the attacker)."
Thats it!! Hype is over!! They kept that Stupid Cat n Mouse thing for submissions for this next game. Absolutely ridiculous. That stupid system is what made me give up on Undisputed 3. Ditch it and go back to button smashing or Analog busting. Maybe you will get a chance to actually finish a submission.
